- b20000 5y agothere is a large gap between code in matlab typically and stuff you can use in production written in C. this is for example the case with DSP code. so it is a red flag indicating the author is an academic and lacks actual experience writing production code.

- Jtsummers 5y agoI take it you've never worked on radio systems, radar systems, satellites, or avionics then. Or with engineers working on new systems designs and modeling. (And those are just the areas I've used or seen it used by non-academics from my own experience, not at all a comprehensive list) Matlab has lots of non-academic uses, and when someone claims it's only for academics it's usually a sign that they have never used it or only saw it in their freshman "programming for engineers" class or maybe numerical methods.
- b20000 5y agoI've had to use matlab in undergrad and grad courses. Yes, it's useful because it has tools for filter design, for plotting, etc etc. What tends to happen though is that a person works on some prototype in matlab without any regard to actual implementation in practice and then throws it over the wall, and then the person writing the actual firmware has to re-invent half of what has been done in matlab so it works within the constraints of the hardware.
